Description

This may be the best short study ever written on the history of Social Security. John Attarian shows that the program is not an insurance program at all but rather a pure transfer scam designed to make the elderly dependent on the tax take from younger workers.

In a particular controversial section, the author shows how implausible so-called privatization is in the American context, and how the only path to reform involves dismantling this program completely. The complete text runs 50 pages.
